Atmospheric pressure corresponds to a hydrostatic head of_________________?
Correct answer: D. 34 ft ofH2O
- A. 13.6 cms of Hg
- B. 13.6 metres of Hg
- C. 1 metre of H2O
- D. 34 ft ofH2O
Explanation
One atmosphere equals 760 mm Hg, which is approximately 10.3 m or 34 ft of water. Therefore, 34 ft of H2O is the matching hydrostatic head.
